Asynchronously collect the fs.Stats for all files in a directory. The function is non-recursive.

Build Status

Usage

  var statdir = require('statdir')
  statdir(__dirname, function(err, files) {
    console.log(files)
  })

The callback receives an array of File with the following properties:

  • name The file's basename
  • path The file's absolute path
  • stat fs.Stats instance

If a fs.stat() call fails the stat instance will have an error property. File objects have a toString() method that returns the absolute path.

Comparing snapshots

You can call statdir.diff() to compare two directory snapshots. The function returns an object with all added, removed and changed files.

  var statdir = require('statdir')
  var dir = '/some/directory'
 
  statdir(dir, function(err, stats1) {
 
    // wait 10s and take another snapshot ...
    setTimeout(function() {
 
      statdir(dir, function(err, stats2) {
 
        // compare the two arrays:
        var diff = statdir.diff(stat1, stat2)
 
        console.log(diff.added)
        console.log(diff.removed)
        console.log(diff.changed)
      })
 
    }, 10000)
  })
